Green Stewardship with a Resuable Bag

If you are working towards a completely Green kitchen and lifestyle then here’s the next step. Reusable mesh bags made from cotton-mesh. These are a great alternative to all those disposable plastic bags that you stash the broccoli mushrooms and apples into the refrigerator that get trashed right after. These bags are made of 100% organic cotton, come in two sizes and allow your food to breathe. You can find them at StewardBags. They runabout about $3.75 for the large and $3.25 for the small, but a good long term investment. They can also be found at the Healthy Butcher.

Currently plastic bags constitute about 10% of debris on U.S. shorelines and China will save 37 million barrels of oil a year by banning fee plastic bags. Plastic bags also have a big impact on wildlife… there are some facts on their website. Buy 5 or 6 for your friends or clients for a gift instead of that big bottle of wine.
